I uploaded the photo below as a priority upload, as it is the first XL 757-200 in the new livery. I did a web-wide search beforehand and it appears that I was lucky enough to be the first to capture this beauty - in lovely evening light too.

A few moments ago I searched the database for G-VKNA and the below image is the latest photo, taken this morning. Not to take anything away from Nik (I think he's a great photographer and have met him on a few occasions) but the weather was unfortunately terrible when he took this.

What perplexes me is that, although my shot may be rejected for this and that (I'm new to editing in PS), it was taken on 5th Feb in glorious sunlight and hasn't even been screened yet. What's going on here? Perhaps a screener or two could let me know the deal on this one?

Oh right, OK. Sorry, I thought it could go as priority even if there were already only a couple of shots in the DB. My first edit of this shot was rejected for soft (that was before there were any other shots of it uploaded) and so I just assumed the re-upload should go as priority.

And also, Karl, AFAIK there are loads of 738 with Air India Express in the DB, so it cannot get priority at all if it's new.
